Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I just wanted to get the word out: Dr. Mercola is not a good source for ANY health advice. He's not even a real doctor, he's an Osteopath.

According to, for example, the Mayo Clinic, D.O.s are in fact real doctors: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/osteopath/AN02093

I had a D.O. as my primary care physician for a few years, and he seemed just like other doctors: oh, look, you're sick. Here's a prescription. I'm not sure if that similarity is exactly a recommendation, but there it is. :)

D.O.'s in the United States are not all that different from M.D.'s anymore--they're certainly qualified as "real doctors" by the rest of the medical community. I would still trust an MD slightly more, but DO != quack, even if this particular DO happens to be a quack.

The majority of the internet quackery that I come across is perpetrated by D.O.'s. There's no doubt that the anti-science, New Age-y crackpots have found a D.O. degree to be the path of least resistance.
